When is the ideal time to apply for Aufenthaltserlaubnis?

Question

If a person has a Duldung (Aussetzung der Abschiebung). And if one has good german language skill and has been integrated well and has been working for the last five years and paying taxes. Should he/she apply after 5 years or should he or she wait for 8 years before applying for Aufenthaltserlaubnis? Actually when is the ideal time for applying? Thanks.

Dear @Nay, thank you for your question in the community. If you have B2/C1 German skills, then you could try already after 5 years. It doesnt effect negatively your stay if you apply before 8 years. There is not a real ideal time, as it depends on the particular case. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to reach to us. Best regards, Nilab
